@PrincessConsuela12 I really don't know! Part of me thinks give it a couple of months without OPK's and the other part thinks I may as well start early! I'll probably end up ordering some.

Sorry to hear about your ectopic :( Everything crossed for this month! I hope your TWW flies by xx

@Lemonysherbet no you're not the only ones, he used to have a higher sex drive than mine. As long as you're happy that's the main thing. He's less stressed now so hopefully we'll get there one day if not this cycle. I was looking to try SMEP this time but just wasn't right/fair. You will get there like we all will.

cupcakesandglitter · 11/08/2019 07:35

Just popping on to see how things are going... @MrsH497 how are you? Xx

ELW85 · 11/08/2019 08:59

@whatsthecraic91 - good on you, I hope the Chinese was nice?

@Larrydavid - you’re welcome :) I think sleeping closer to the floor could alter it, so maybe when you’re back at home? You’d still get a trend though, so whatever works for you!

@Lottiepink - it was great! I hope you’re having a lovely weekend?

Anny27 · 11/08/2019 09:47

@Lemonysherbet and @Lottiepink you are both cycle buddies together then! When will you test?

@Larrydavid did you use you femometer this morning?

@LokiCat did you test today??

Welcome to all the new ladies :D

I was very excited to see very noticeable EWCM this morning :D cycle day 13 and probably a day or two away from ovulation :)

MrsH497 · 11/08/2019 10:00

@cupcakesandglitter not too bad thank you lovely waiting to test I'm 11dpo today had maybe an evap but not even a hint of a bfp other than that.

How are you?! Xx

Lemonysherbet · 11/08/2019 10:01

@anny27 oh yeh! Hi cycle buddy @Lottiepink 👋😁

I'm going to try not to test unless af is late. I say that now 😂

I'm meant to be out for drinks on Friday though so maybe Friday morning if no af signs but the boobs are already aching for her so who knows!

Lemonysherbet · 11/08/2019 10:03

@Imjustme2019 yeh I am happy. Slow and steady wins the race right? I married him so I'm Def happy 😁

cupcakesandglitter · 11/08/2019 10:07

@MrsH497 I'm good thankyou 😊 still waiting for this to kick in, doesn't feel real 😂 when are you testing next?! When did you get your faint/possible evap? Xx

MrsH497 · 11/08/2019 10:12

@cupcakesandglitter 9dpo trouble is I'd left it to go and do bits as there was nothing immediately. Not had a hint of anything since although not tested today as I'm at my mums. How many weeks are you? X

MrsH497 · 11/08/2019 10:34

And AF has started 4 days early only a 25 day cycle this month never had an early period before gutted

Anny27 · 11/08/2019 10:37

@MrsH497 sorry to hear that :( is it definitley AF or could it be implantation?

PrincessConsuela12 · 11/08/2019 10:38

@Blossomingflower94 Thank you!

I tired with OPK's this month for the first time. I was getting a bit worried because the second line wasn't getting very dark & AF app said I was ovulating... 2 days later I got the second dark line. I guess I'll see shortly if it worked 🙂

MrsH497 · 11/08/2019 10:42

@Anny27 if I'm honest I'm assuming it's AF I don't think it's anything else just annoyed it's early and only got to 11dpo I normally have a longer cycle

Lemonysherbet · 11/08/2019 10:51

@MrsH497 sorry to hear she showed up

cupcakesandglitter · 11/08/2019 10:51

Ahh @MrsH497 sorry to hear that, you may have ovulated earlier this month? I've had 23 day cycles and 40+ cycles so I can definitely resonate with how you feel. On the plus side, quicker to start another cycle xxxx

ELW85 · 11/08/2019 10:56

Sorry to hear that @MrsH497 x

MrsH497 · 11/08/2019 11:01

@cupcakesandglitter I used OPKs so got my peak on evening of day 13. Just so confused

cupcakesandglitter · 11/08/2019 11:31

@MrsH497 Hmm 🤔 I'm guessing maybe you had an anovulatory cycle OR it's implantation? I had implantation spotting for five days, identical to my pre-AF spotting which is why I was dead certain af would show up.. is it normal flow? X

MrsH497 · 11/08/2019 11:46

@cupcakesandglitter I put a tampon in straight away as I assumed it was af. It's brown with a bit of red. Just been to the toilet wiped and barely anything I am really confused

Blossomingflower94 · 11/08/2019 11:47

@PrincessConsuela12 Where are you in your cycle now?

I've bitten the metaphorical bullet and ordered some ... Really want to be pregnant by Christmas!

cupcakesandglitter · 11/08/2019 12:10

@MrsH497 ooooh! This might be it! Keep an eye on it over the next few days, if you can hold out don't test for two days or so - you should have a nice clear line. Fingers crossed xx

Lottiepink · 11/08/2019 12:49

@Lemonysherbet hey 👋🏻 😊 yeh I've started getting cramps today, af is on her way, only 10dpo but sometimes get them a few days before.. how many days is your luteal usually?

@Jessikka welcome back! How are you doing?

@ELW85 yes I am thank you, hope you are too? I'm sorting holiday clothes at the mo and got an afternoon of ironing to look forward too 🤣

@Anny27 I'm not a one to test unless af is late, but started getting the usual cramps I get a day or so before so think I'm out anyways, but we will see! Aww fab, it's amazing when you get the ewcm haha!

@MrsH497 aww so sorry 😕😕
Reading further through tho, I really really hope it's implantation for you 🤞🏻🤞🏻

MrsH497 · 11/08/2019 12:56

So IF (big if I lm not hopeful!) it's implantation without being TMI what should colour and flow be like?

Blossomingflower94 · 11/08/2019 13:05

@MrsH497 implantation is more dark in colour, brown mainly. That's not from personal experience but from a medical knowledge x
